Prevent Virus Infections through USB Drives !



With the advancement of technology, USB devices can store gigabytes of data and have become very small in size.
This makes it very easy for a person to walk into office, copy confidential data onto the USB Drive and walk away without anyone even knowing about.
PLEASE NOTE :
USB drives are used as the preferred medium to transfer files from one computer to another.
Lot of virus infections happen when using USB drives infected with viruses.
One common way in which they spread is by exploiting the 'autorun' feature in M$ Windows XP.

• When a USB drive is connected to an infected computer,
the virus copies itself on to the USB drive and creates an autorun.inf file in the drive pointing to the copy of the virus on the USB drive.

• When the drive is then plugged on to a clean system with Windows XP,
the autorun gets triggered and the virus gets executed and the system gets infected.

In addition to USB Flash Drives,
iPODS are also being used to steal important company data
